Winner of the World Cinema - Dramatic Audience Award and the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision at Sundance Film Festival. Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. Undeterred by his shepherding responsibilities, Ahmet enlists the help of his brother Naim to channel his musical ambitions and dazzle Aya, whose dance troupe is preparing to take the village festival by storm. Sundance Film Festival’s Short Film Program alum Georgi M. Unkovski (Sticker, 2020) makes his delightful feature film debut with this inspiring tribute to the unifying power of music at any age, as well as the unexpected freedoms it can provide. Unkovski looks to a charming young cast and sumptuous, dreamlike cinematography to capture the clash of modernity and tradition with fresh eyes, revealing a rural landscape transformed by the beat and bursting with color and movement. Uplifted by warm humor, lovable characters, and an unsurprisingly catchy soundtrack, DJ Ahmet casts a welcome spell that reverberates long after the last joyous note.

When young, ambitious filmmaker Kris (Hannah Einbinder) gets the chance to revive the classic horror franchise Camp Miasma, it's a dream come true. To give the project some weight, she seeks out the star of the original films in the series, Billy Presley ( Gillian Anderson) , who is set to star in the remake. The meeting between the idealistic director and the more experienced, reclusive actor becomes the starting point for a story about obsession, artistic control, and the relationship between the cult films of the past and the way they are viewed today. As work on the film takes shape, the lines between remake, memory, and reality begin to shift. What at first seems like a meta-horror about recreating a slasher universe develops into a more disturbing tale of identity and desire. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” is directed by Jane Schoenbrun , who is particularly known for working at the intersection of coming-of-age, horror, and queer sensibilities. The film quickly attracted a lot of attention, not least because it came after the much-talked about “I Saw the TV Glow,” and because Schoenbrun is moving even more clearly into a meta-slasher tradition with a personal and artistic touch. The film has been described as a kind of queer reinterpretation of the classic camp slasher genre, but with a much greater focus on desire, identity, and psychological dissolution. The cast includes Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson as the film's central duo, flanked by Patrick Fischler , Jack Haven , Eva Victor , Zach Cherry , Sarah Sherman and Jasmin Savoy Brown, among others . The casting is a big part of the film's appeal: Anderson's presence gives the project both iconic weight and a connection to the film's theme of past stars and horror mythology, while Einbinder represents a newer generation of performers with a more modern, queer and self-aware expression. The festival reception has also strengthened the film's reputation. Its world premiere at Cannes sparked a six-minute standing ovation , and the film also won the Queer Palme d' Or, placing it at the center of the conversation about the year's most significant queer and genre films. This reception has helped transform the film from a niche project into a broader art-house horror film.

Based on Donna Tartt’s 2013 novel of the same name, “The Goldfinch” centres around Theodore "Theo" Decker, a young man with a troubled childhood. Theo was only 13 years old when a tragedy marks him forever - his mother dies in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York while he manages to survive the attack. In the chaos and debris around him, Theo gets something that goes with him through his entire life, full of misery, guilt and pain. It is the vision of his mother favourite work of art from the Dutch Golden Age, “The Goldfinch”. While the painting becomes famous thanks to Donna Tartt’s novel, the story of its artist, Carel Fabritius, is even stranger than a fiction could create.

When a small alien creature crashes into the Mojave Desert in 1999, it sets off a chain reaction that, many years later, changes the lives of a boy and his dog forever. Danny grows up with his faithful dog Charlie, but as Charlie grows old and frail, it seems their adventure is over – until Charlie and the neighbor's cat are abducted by aliens one night. When he returns, he is young again, can talk – and has gained superpowers. Soon he becomes the world's first super dog, rescuing people in need and winning everyone's hearts. But his fame arouses the envy of the power-hungry neighbor cat, who, like Charlie, has gained special abilities after his visit to space and who plans to make all cats superior and force humanity to submit to them. To stop him, Charlie must find his courage and faith in himself again - and show that true heroes are not measured by strength, but by heart. “Charlie the Superdog” is a terrific, heartwarming and humorous family adventure about friendship, loyalty and courage – and how even the smallest paw can make the biggest difference. The film is directed by Shea Wageman, who has garnered multiple nominations and international recognition for his work on critically acclaimed family productions such as “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and “Rocket Club.”
